Planning for the future

I am so longing for a real garden. At the moment I am making plans in the back of my mind as to what I want in it, when it happens. These are based on the idea that most likely we will live in a ground-floor flat, potentially with restrictions on what you are allowed to do with your patch (open plan gardens are quite popular here in apartment blocks). This would mean mostly container gardening still. So, with that restriction in mind, here are my thoughts so far.

We need a large patch of grass for Froglet and Nutmeg to run about on. That will probably be most of the garden in the above scenario.

I want to grow things that are pretty but also edible, to begin with.
First on my list of priorities are nasturtiums, probably in hanging baskets. I'd love to set up at least two of the baskets on pulleys so they can be lowered for the children to take care of them - an idea I found in How Does Your Garden Grow, which suggested planting them alongside miniature carrots. Worth a try.
Secondly, tomatoes, peppers, and garlic. We eat loads of these all year round, so no fear of these going to waste. They would be in a couple of large containers on the patio. I'd love to grow cucumbers too, but as they trail it might be impractical.
Thirdly, potatoes. Probably just one container of these, and we can rotate which container has them in it from year to year to avoid disease.
Fourthly, strawberries, in a proper strawberry pot.
And finally, herbs. We have basil on the balcony now and I love it! So, definitely basil, oregano, mint and sage, and maybe marjoram and dill. With any luck, we'll be allowed to plant these under the little willowy shrubs they tend to put in as garden dividers - where they will enjoy a bit of shade, won't spoil the look and won't get mown by the caretaker (assuming we're in one of those type of places).

What do you think? Did I miss anything important?

Oh I came across this cool site too: Harvest to Table. Have a look, it has recipes as well as gardening stuff.
